Accounting Master 21.1 Highlights

By Stacie Finken, Accounting Master Product Owner

There was a sampling of new Accounting Master features in last month’s newsletter. As upgrades begin, we want to highlight more benefits you’ll find in version 21.1. As always, these enhancements are driven by our goal of adding new features to boost efficiency and convenience. We also strove to include enhancements based directly on client requests as your input helps drive the direction of our products.

Read on for complete details and be sure to take the What’s New Training so you can put these new features to work at your company.

AR Customer Foreign Address
A foreign address option has been added to the Customer screen. If selected, additional fields for Country, State/Province, and Postal Code will be available. The foreign address will print on all Customer related reports containing an address, including Customer Search, Customer Label Printer, Invoices, and Importer tool.

CM Cash JE Post Restore
Cash Receipt entries posted in error can be reversed through the CM Cash JE Reversal screen. The data associated with the reversed batch will be available for re-import from the CM Cash JE Post process. MACC has enhanced the Cash JE Reversal screen by adding the Restore to Original Import Status option. When checked, it will restore the selected batch to original import status, prior to editing, and remove previous edits to the batch.

AM/CM Network Inventory Interface (Nii)
Previously, the Network Inventory Interface (Nii) only permitted users to pull inventory from one Accounting Material Company when utilizing the interface. The Nii has been updated to allow users to select from multiple available Accounting Material Companies when issuing inventory in Customer Master. Material Company columns were added to the AM Inventory and Premise Equipment screens for a quick view of the Material Company issued for inventory items. These updates increase accessibility and visibility to multiple accounting companies with the Nii and Premise Equipment Interface transactions with an established intercompany-relationship.

Auto Generate Purchase Orders
Management of replenishing low inventory items can be challenging for companies. A new process to Auto Generate Purchase Orders was added to improve efficiency with this effort. To utilize this process, activate new option Auto-Create Purchase Orders for Low Inventory Items from the Materials Company table. Every five minutes, the system will verify the database for any low inventory items needing to be reordered. Purchase Orders will automatically be created and email notifications sent.

Reassign Stock Certificate Tool
Management of stock certificate numbers has been enhanced with the new Reassign Stock Certificate Number tool. It allows users to reassign a stock certificate number when entered incorrectly. Stockholders with certificate numbers for which all dividends have been sold can be re-issued using the new Reassign Stock Certificate Number tool. This new tool can be accessed from the Stock ribbon and Stock Suite.
